It's stalking and harassment incidents like these that I'm reminded of any time someone tells me they've got nothing to hide.

#22Impressive how they managed to nail seven underlings for doing it (five plead guilty; two went to trial[0]) but not CEO Devin Wenig for ordering[1] it, instead giving him a $57 million golden parachute straight into GM's Cruise. I wonder if Wenig being CEO of Thomson Reuters Markets from 2008 to 2011 has any effect on the way Reuters reports on this eBay scandal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devin_Wenig [0]: https:/…
"While there’s no suggestion in court papers that Wenig knew of the plot, prosecutors say his angry emails triggered the scheme, and they play a central role in the narrative spelled out by the government. "Take her down," Wenig is alleged to have written in response to a post by the blogger." That would be the smoking gun, but who's alleging it? Article didn't say.

Which is a reminder: If you are going to do unethical things, make sure you can prove that your bosses ordered it. Otherwise, in addition to being a rat, you will likely twist in the wind.

#26I've been following this a little. I grew up near the Massachusetts town where this occurred (Its a pretty non-descript suburban town). So that fact that a big company and high up executives decided to target a very home spun news letter, is just crazy. Its like something went off the rails. Ars has pretty good coverage. The harassment was bizarre and threatening: sending roaches and pig masks is just the wierd start…
That's evidence in some states....
